Things You Love That People Do When You Are Fishing! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 04:58 PM

OK....this thread should be fun!

One of my favorites is when you are fishing along a sandy beach and someone walks directly behind your cast instead of walking a bit further behind you when they pass so as not to get hooked by the backcast of a lure holding 3 trebles!!!!

Swimmer · 11-10-2006, 05:00 PM

Bringing the kiddies to the water's edge while you are there casting/fishing to through friekin rocks in the water. And there were no rocks around so they had to cart them to the beach from somewhere else.

My favorite is when a guy walks upto you, real friendly like, makes light

conversation for awhile as you continue to fish, then casts right by your

side while talkin.

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:10 PM

Another little chestnut of mine....when you are walking to your fishing spot carrying at least one rod, a plug bag and wearing waders and someone asks...."Going fishing???"

Standard replies are...A) "Nope! Gonna change the oil in my car" B) "Nope! There is a pick up hockey game down the beach!" C) "Why do you assume I am going fishing?"

Guys who cast from the service road on the side of the Canal.... If I had a license to carry........................................... I'd be in Jail

I'm not a fan of car headlights left on for way too long, a beam shinning over the water, with me cursing, shouting--"Turn your #@% headlights off."

When someone lets the dog off the leash to go swimming, making no attempt to keep the dog from getting in my line. One lady threatened to send me the vet bill when her pooch got hooked. Hey lady, see the sign over there that says "All dogs must be leashed"?

Or, back when I fished chunks, dog eats a pint of clams or whatever and owner doesn't even say sorry

Hey, if you catch it, you should be allowed to keep it and eat it.

fishpoopoo · 11-14-2006, 11:11 AM

By the way, there has been more than one time in the C-Town area where I have gone out of my way to say that "I will eat your ph#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g dog if you don't keep it away from me."

fishpoopoo · 11-14-2006, 11:12 AM

...and for strange some reason, the dog owners believe that I will make good on my threat.

tattoobob · 11-10-2006, 05:34 PM

Fishing and you feel like you being watched, you look around and see a truck in the distance, next thing you catch a fish and the guy that was watching you with spy glasses and 3 of his friends are all around you. fishing in your spot.

I was fishing a public beach at dusk with Mr Striper, when this guy lets his dog off the leash. It took about 30 seconds to find Mr Stripers tackle bag and pee all over it. I was crackin up....

thats funny, same thing happened to me a coupla years ago

vanstaal · 11-10-2006, 05:40 PM

here's a good one you caught a fish and it's laying behind you and someone asked did you catch that here, no I carried it in from another place just to put it behind me !

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:54 PM

VS....

luds · 11-10-2006, 05:57 PM

Somehow everyone that I run into that is not fishing always asks, "Are the stripers runnin?" They say this all year round so it's not like their in tune with spring/fall runs.

BigFish · 11-10-2006, 05:59 PM

That is my most hated quote......"Are they runnin?"......I hate the term...it sounds quite newby if you ask me!! Seems only non-fishermen use the term!

Slingah is surely hanging around here laughing right now!

RickBomba · 11-10-2006, 06:08 PM

I hate brothers that look just like you and say that they are a better fisherman.
I hate sandeel mustaches.
Crab-claw pipes!
My all time serious gripe is throwing a tennis ball right into my spread so Fido can "go fetch."
Also boats that troll in close so they can cut us off.
Seals!
Mung!
The guys who tell you that they were catching five minutes ago.
Hooks in hands.
Oh the list goes on!
Later,
Bitter Rick

This is my biggest one, except it's not 3 of his friends its 12 of them.

RIJIMMY · 11-10-2006, 09:48 PM

moral of this thread is.....fish at night
dogs, kids, surfers, googs, never see 'em except when Im heading home

but then again, there are the idiots with the lights......Oct of this year I was fishing at an outflow. I waded out into the water and this guy on shore starts shining his light on me, and then all over the water, back on me. I'm pretty mellow but I was ripped, I shouted "turn the f 'in light off and he did.

I don't know in the middle of the night fishing the MS Tourny carrying two good blues, guy asks if they are blues or stripers? What is he doing fishing in the middle of the night at this spot? I couldn't believe it. I don't have many peaves while fishing, I love it too much to get angry. Ok one more, drifting at the canal and someone comes walking down 40 ft to your side and starts casting and drifting.

Then you get the guy who you can't hear over the surf, who sneaks right up to about a foot away and yells "Any luck???"

"Is that your husband's boat?"

"Your husband know you fish?"

NIB · 11-14-2006, 07:28 AM

The other night.
Big storm out front fishing a inside bulkhead.
Car pulls up Lights on...
guy gets out.
"What are ya fishin for?"
It relaxes me.
"U catchin any?"
As he stands in a pile of blood an fish slime.
The one in the cooler in the truck is pounding like a midget on crack locked in a trunk..
NO>..

When a commercial fishing boat intentionally steams over your tuna spread....

basswipe · 11-11-2006, 07:53 AM

I hate encountering drunk people while fishing.Even worse is when the
the drunk is fishing.

I love beer just not when fishing.
